I installed lm_sensors, ran sensors, installed gkrellm, but I still do no see anything about my CPU temperature uunder Fedora 20. Is there some easy, simple GUI app that just works and allows me to view my CPU temperature periodiocally in Fedora 20 ?

Install the xsensors package, then run: xsensors -f

It shows me a temperature reading but says "radeon" to the left of the reading. My Video controller is the Radeon 4850 video card so i suspect that this is a video card temperature but not the CPU temperature. There is no other temperature reading shown.

sudo bash
yum -y install lm_sensors
yes | sensors-detect
exit

Underneath Radeon are 2 other values, one for just the cpu, and one for all your sensors.
Great little application.

This still suggests to me the tempaerature of my radeon video adapter ( Radeon 4850 ). If it is I am not seeing a CPU temperature anywhere. Even when I install gkrellm, the output under temperature has the preferences tag of:

On my system those two other values do not exist.

I use byobu instead of gnome terminal and it has nice widget on the bottom of the page with cpu temperature (configurable).

You can also install this extension https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet

You're being mislead - the problem is finding your CPU temp sensor, and NOT the applications to display it.

Is what module failing to load ? if I run 'lsmod | grep f718' it returns nothing.

The "f71882fg" kernel module, that is listed in your /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors file and the one I'm discussing above. The return of nothing from the grep command means it's not loading. Try the suggestion made by leigh123linux to download newer lm_sensors and lm_sensors-libs packages that he just build for F20 from the F21 SRPM and use them to "update" your current packages.

Try a newer version of lm_sensors.

rpm -qa lm_sensors\*then grab the newer versions from here and install them, then run

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7036172

su
sensors-detect --auto
.

I do not understand how I am supposed to get the newer version and install it from the above link.

Sorry I don't help noobs as it frustrates me too much :)

Click the link. Pick one of three choice's under Descendants build that matches your installed architecture, probably either x86_64 or i686, then click on the appropriate filename packages listed at the bottom to download them.

In a command terminal, change directory to your Downloads directory (cd Downloads) then use the command,

sudo yum update filename1 filename2 ...

Which will most likely be just the lm_sensors and lm_sensors-libs rpm packages.

Clicking on any of the three links does not download anything. Try it yourself.

I never said clicking on one of the three links would download anything. I said:

Clicking on anyone of the three links takes you to another webpage, which has a list of the files at the bottom, which you can click on to download. I did try it. And it worked for me.

I installed the 3.3.5.4. fc20 version of lm_sensors. I then ran sensors_detect successfully. But running 'sensors' again still only gives:

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +60.5°C

So it appears that lm_sensors cannot detect my mobo's CPU temperature under Fedora 20. In all other Linux distros which I run the result is the same, no detection of CPU temperature. It is no big deal but a little disappointing that Linux cannot detect this, but certainly not something to worry about. I can monitor the temperature in the BIOS when I boot and under Windows 7/Vista. I am about to change to a better case for my old mobo as well as rebuild a new system with a new mobo. Admittedly the MSI K9A2 Platinum mobo is a bit old and hopefully, when I choose a new mobo and build a new system, Fedora ( and Linux ) will be able to detect temperature on my new mobo better.
